With this win, they have cleared their intentions going forward in the tournament.
South Africa, on the other hand, have been in red-hot form throughout the tournament. They topped their group stage with a perfect record, winning all their matches.

Pitch Report
The Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia is known for its high-scoring matches, with a par score exceeding 160 in T20Is. While the surface favours batters, there’s assistance for pacers with the new ball. Spinners might find it challenging, especially later in the innings. So, expect a run-fest with the team winning the toss likely to choose bowling first.
